Meropenem
Medically, meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis. "The doctor prescribed meropenem to treat the patient's severe pneumonia."
In a hospital setting, meropenem is often used in combination with other antibiotics to fight resistant bacteria. "The ICU team used meropenem in combination with vancomycin to combat the patient's MRSA infection.")
Researchers have also studied the effectiveness of meropenem in treating infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms. "A recent study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases found that meropenem was effective in treating infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae."
Patients undergoing surgery are at increased risk of developing surgical site infections, which can be effectively treated with meropenem. "The surgeon prescribed meropenem prophylactically for the patient undergoing joint replacement surgery."
Due to its efficacy and limited side effects, meropenem is often used as a treatment of last resort for patients with resistant infections. "The patient's doctor chose to use meropenem as a last resort to treat the patient's Burkholderia cepacia infection."

Meromelia is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the partial or complete absence of one or more limbs, often due to a failure of limb bud formation during embryonic development. It is sometimes referred to as aplasia or hypoplasia of a limb.
Meromyosin is a type of protein found in muscle cells that is involved in muscle contraction. It is a subunit of the muscle protein tropomyosin and is composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Meromyosin is responsible for interacting with actin filaments to cause muscle contraction.
Merops is a genus of birds in the family Meropidae, commonly known as bee-eaters. They are characterized by their bright plumage, slender bodies, and distinctive shapes.
